hey you guys, are you kidding, aren't.
Who in this world in perfect mind condition would sell two 4870 for this price?
Even being one the price is nice.
I let it always disable when overclocking and gamimg, just enable when download something.

I wouldn't trust giving my CPU to someone get it lapped... Even a store, I prefer do it by myself.
Lapping a CPU is certainly easier than you think, if you are getting worried about your first lapping is in your CPU, do it in a HSF or even in an old CPU and you will see it's quite simply.
Take the both cards out and then turn on the system with the second one only.
But I'm almost certain that your card is okay, if it's damaged I imagine it wouldn't boot or would frequently reboot your system, get artefacts, etc.
I'm thinking in getting a new card but it seems to be impossible to decide wich one (maybe two) to get.
I simply can't believe in almosts all test I see around, the difference between them is incredibly high.
To me it seriously seems to be that the best choice now is a 9800GX2, that is been...
Yeah, they accept paypal, but for international sales they also ask a CC.
Well, if anyone is interested in earning some money I'll pay up to 110$ for a retail TRUE with a good fan SHIPPED.
Thanks for the info dude but unfortunatelly to buy from this company I must have an international credit card, and I don't own any.
I knew another company that ship abroad www.sidewindercomputers.com but they need a credit card too.
The additional 2MB L2 of the Q9450 would perform a little better in video/audio encoding, but this don't worth the extra bucks compared to a Q6600, also considering the 9x multi of this second one and consequently better overclockability, it's still the best.
